I volunteer for the Northumberland National Park. One of the tasks I undertake is surveying Heritage at Risk sites and reporting back on their condition. The Heritage at Risk (HAR) programme helps understand the overall state of England's historic sites and identifies those sites that are most at risk of being lost as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development.

As we had a lovely sunny Saturday at the start of September I decided I would survey one of my sites on the Sunday while my wife ran a marathon training run. I thought I would take you along with me so you can see some of what is involved in surveying sites. Things didn't go quite as well as I hoped.
